A few issues with all this.
1.) Which club a player played for should not have anything to do with making ALL State. It is supposed to be what that player did during the high school season.
2.)You can't tell me or anyone reasonable, that there were 0 kids from the midlands area that did not deserve to be on the 4A all state team. Dutch Fork, Blythewood, Spring Valley, White Knoll, Lexington and Irmo all finished in the top 15 in 4A (except Irmo).
3.) The coaches that did not show up for the meetings should never be assigned to be on a committee again or rewarded with coaching all star games--unless a valid reason was given before hand--and they still could have found a replacement or notified Coach Heise and I am sure he could have found a replacement.
4.) No one is questioning the talent of those selected. But to say that there were 0 kids from the midlands area that deserved to be on the team is just not correct. Congrats to those that did make it.
5.) Wando, Dorman, Mauldin--all are great teams. The difference between these 3 teams and teams ranked 4-15 in 4A is that they have 11 great players on their team (at least). But that does not mean the 2-3 players from teams 4-15 in 4A should not be considered or picked.
6.) a limit per team might not be a bad idea...North/South all star game is 2 per team, The Clash all star game is 2 per team, should All state not be 2 per team? Maybe 3?
